Boston's Harvard Bookstore Cafe unloaded its 50 copies in two days.

"We never sell out that fast," said manager Nick Lucki. Washington distributor called the supermarket bannings "the best thing that could happen to the magazine. Whatever (copies) come back will go to other retailers reordering." Knight-Rldder Papers That magazine featuring the nude Demi Moore great with child haa been banned by four more food chains. Safeway, Giant, Bi-Lo and Kroger joined Food Lion, Winn-Dixie and Harris-Teeter. A Giant spokesman said the chain was protecting "very young children" from the issue.

It has 251 seats, and since the average passenger weighs 165 pounds and checks 40 pounds of luggage, a full load of passengers and luggage weighs about 51,400 pounds. That makes the plane's total weight 551,400 pounds less than the maximum weight of 571,800 pounds allowed for the MD-11 to take off from San Jose's runway, when the temperature is 70 degrees. At 80 degrees, the plane must be 12,000 pounds lighter, according to Duggan, but can still carry a full passenger load.

The numbers for the DC-10 are different, and leave less leeway, in part because the plane has less powerful engines. When American was using DC-lOs on its San Jose-to-Tokyo flight, hot weather could force the flight to take off with nearly 100 empty seats. Another option the airline used once was to take off with a partial load of fuel, and stop at Oakland (which has a longer runway) to tank up for the trip to Tokyo. American spokesman Hank Benedetti says HOU. 1 rJ ftp aw -ijs-na- I jr'" tTfag Ttn plane's weight for takeoff, limiting passengers can do the trick.

But American doesn't have to take off with empty seats anymore, now that it is using MD-11 aircraft on the route. The length of runway a plane needs to take off on a given day is affected by two main factors: the plane's weight and the air temperature, according to American's international coordinator, Jim Duggan. To take off, a plane has to get going fast enough on the ground that the wind rushing around its wings produces enough lift to raise the plane. The heavier a plane is, the more runway it needs to reach that speed. And when it's very hot, the thinner air provides less lift, so the plane must travel even faster to get off the ground.

An empty MD-11 weighs 290,000 pounds. To fly to Tokyo, it carries about 210,000 pounds of tit iiiinfyingif that's unlikely to happen with the MD-11, even in very hot weather.
